I truly appreciate the same day appointment option. I would definitely recommend.

Dr Ramon Diez Barroso is the first person I| want to call about any question on my health or for my loved ones' health. His intentional way of listening and wanting to make sure he understands what you are feeling, makes me feel very good about his diagnosis. He has been 100% right on the mark and knows exactly what to do to make things better. Thank you

I came in thinking I had an eye infection because my eye was red and irritated, but it turned out to be a scratched eye. Doctor Diez-Barroso was very calm, thorough, and reassuring. He explained what was going on clearly and let me know it would heal on its own in a few days, which it did. I appreciated that he didn’t push unnecessary treatments and instead gave honest and helpful advice. Great experience overall!

Dr. Diez Barroso is very thorough, knowledgeable, trustworthy and patient. Whether I’ve come to him for general health concerns, postpartum complications, anxiety, or my 6-month-old’s overall health, he always has a solution. I never feel rushed through our consultations and always leave feeling confident in his diagnosis and treatment plan!

After battling breast cancer, I faced many lasting challenges from chemotherapy and other treatments. I saw several doctors, but none felt like the right fit for my complex case—until I found Dr. Diez Barroso. When I called, he personally answered and took the time to truly listen. His kindness, attentiveness, and clear explanations gave me hope for the first time that I could have a family doctor who understands my needs. I am deeply grateful to be under his care
